A Proposed Study To Explore The Relationships Of Methionine Restriction, The Mitochondrial Upr, And Animal Lifespan Determination, Joanne Mai Dec 2021

A Proposed Study To Explore The Relationships Of Methionine Restriction, The Mitochondrial Upr, And Animal Lifespan Determination, Joanne Mai

2021 Fall Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

The determination of chronological age is complex and can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Mitochondria, essential organelles that generate the vast amount of cellular energy, are closely associated with the aging process. While many studies have been performed, we still lack a complete understanding of how animal lifespan is determined. In the following research proposal, a strategy is outlined to uncover the mechanism of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and extended lifespan resulting from restriction of the amino acid methionine. The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and a forward genetic screening strategy will be used to identify …

In this study, the wing designed for the Global Electric Vehicle Challenge by Everest Engineering, a student team from the University of Texas at Arlington, is simulated to analyze its aerodynamic properties. The simulation is done on a single element wing with varying angles of attack and height from the ground. The Solid model is prepared in solid works and the computational fluid dynamics simulations are performed through ANSYS Fluent. The main …


Image Segmentation Application For Efficient 3d Reconstruction Of A Hypertrophic Heart, Shiska Raut Dec 2021

Image Segmentation Application For Efficient 3d Reconstruction Of A Hypertrophic Heart, Shiska Raut

2021 Fall Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic condition that causes abnormal thickening of myocardium leading to obstruction of blood flow to the left ventricle outflow tract. To restore adequate blood flow, Septal Myectomy, an open-heart surgery is carried out. Creating a 3D model of the diseased heart using CT scans enables surgeons to visualize the degree of obstruction and develop a surgical plan with minimized risk. To decrease the total time required for 3D reconstruction (about 9.5 – 160 hours) and increase model accuracy, an image segmentation application was developed. The purpose of the application is to decrease the total time …

“I Am Not Alone”: Impact Of Participating In A Group-Level Assessment For Undergraduate Women Engineering Students, Batsheva R. Guy, Brittany Arthur

i.e.: inquiry in education

Group Level Assessment (GLA) allows participants/co-researchers the opportunity to voice their opinion on a specific topic, while also developing action strategies for change. The purpose of the method is to empower participants and provide them an outlet to share their experiences, in addition to develop a salient action plan. In this article, we describe how the process of participating in a GLA impacted the undergraduate women engineering students that participated. We conclude that merely facilitating a GLA positively impacted participants, aside from the action steps. Women that participated in the GLA felt supported and that their voice was heard, as …
